Oh yeah and the Cybermen!!

This is my favourite Who Christmas special. Cybermen and snow made for a very Christmassy feel, I reckon. Good story, too.

Yeah I agree that was the best of the Xmas specials.

Christmas Eve...Santa and his helper...But probably not the one you're expecting.

Santa (Nick Frost) and the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) in Last Christmas (2014)

Top three for me certainly.

I love the Cyber King. And all that lovely imagery of Cybermen in the snow covered graveyard.

The BBC have just teased a 'worldwide premiere' on Christmas Day!

I have no idea what kind of time it is going to be screened, but I wonder if it is going to be a first trailer for the 60th Anniversary specials?

New trailer which premiered after Strictly this evening.



Russell loves to have new Doctor Who on Christmas Day.

Can't wait to see Beep the Meep and the Wrarth Warriors come alive on the screen.
